If the Mandarin sells out nightly, Japan may regain its 2nd place from China

Under the plan, the entire hotel — 178 guest rooms, all nine restaurants and all spas — would be reserved from 3:00 in the afternoon to noon the next day. It would include a cocktail reception for 500 people.

The hotel plans to apply for recognition from Guinness World Records, as soon as they receive a reservation.

I think you should call the hotel and do your part to help them receive their prize from Guinness. It’s a win-win, really. The Mandarin gets to be a World Record holder, and YOU get the entire hotel to yourself (and 499 of your closest friends).
